I recently came across a great feature of Microsoft PowerPoint known as Presenter Coach. Presenter Coach is a tool that helps you prepare for power point presentations. According to Microsoft’s website,

Presenter Coach evaluates your pacing, pitch, your use of filler words, informal speech, euphemisms, and culturally sensitive terms, and it detects when you’re being overly wordy or are simply reading the text on a slide.

The service is very easy to work. You simply start speaking, and Presenter Coach will go to work. When you are finished the tool will supply you with various statistics, so you can better analyze your speech patterns and word use. As a college student, presenting can often be a very stressful situation. A tool like Presenter coach can help alleviate the stress, and better prepare you for your presentation.
